It's a simple and straightforward recipe I've been using for 20 years. The same one every time and they always come out perfect. I really love this recipe, though I can't take credit for it. It's my Mom's...she's had it on the same recipe card for over 40 years which I believe was passed down to her.

2 cups cake flour

6 Tbsp powder sugar

1 cup butter

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Powder sugar to roll cookies in.

In a large bowl cream butter and add vanilla. (Make sure the butter has had time to soften but do not microwave.)

Mix together flour and powder sugar in a separate bowl and then combine with creamed butter.

Add the nuts. Mix well.

Roll into balls the size of a walnut. Place close together on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
